when their economic policy is in tatters. The Generals rubbish the peacemakers, the military industrial complex sharpens up its maw to gobble more and more young people, it promises employment and skills and instead it excretes weapons, it promotes the boogie man and keeps us all afraid. It does not tell you that our allies in the shape of Saudi Arabia, execute with public beheadings over 600 individuals a year. Isis is an apocalyptic organisation it believes in a last day of judgement when in a great battle the infidel will perish. What a gift it presents for the arms industry, what a gift for the failing cult of austerity, what a gift for right.
No one talks about the arms trade, the fact that the invasion of Iraq
laid the ground conditions that enabled Isis to appear. They dont tell
you that after the second Gulf War the provinces of Iraq experienced
centralisation, devolved powers were removed and concentrated on Bagdad,
that the Sunni were given no representation.
No one tells you that during the Reformation and Counter Reformation in Europe religious toleration we saw similar events that are now happening in Iraq and Syria and on the streets of London and Manchester. As long as yo think there is only one true faith, that there is only one right answer then ultimately this leads to the slaughter of Islamic peoples by the medieval Crusader and to the adherents of Isis in Manchester and on London Bridge. To the true believer the person who thinks differently is essentially a spiritual serial killers murdering the truth. If you are Queen Mary in the 16th century burning the early Protestants, or Calvin in Geneva acting the other way round you create Theocratic Societies where your truth is the only truth. European tolerance did not come from negotiation..it came because nether side could win. Islam and the Arab Spring have begun an Islamic Reformation. Corbyn, the Green party , Russel Brand have begun a challenge to the Neo-liberalism religion of Austerity. We are at a major turning point in perceptions both across Europe and across the Middle East
Isis does not tell you or its followers the true meaning of Jihad, that the great Medieval Islamic warrior Saladin was a Kurd and allowed Christians to worship in the Holy Land. The apocalyptic believers within Isis have a clear vision a simple apocalypse.
Do`tt they tell you about the 130 children who die per day in Yeman because of the arms sold by our arms industry to the vile Saudi Ardian governemnt. They dont mention the bombs that fall on the bus filled with chidren..and the governemt sys nothing/ To the right of the Labour party who never raise their voice against the arms dealers and rave about anti semeticism within the Labour Prty..yep I guess the right never does.....
